Oats has proven he can put a top 5 defense on the floor... he's done so twice at UA, and I'd bet top dollar next year's squad is well within the top 20 in that metric again. But this team just isn't physically capable of being that good on defense. Problem is, they compound it by creating even more issues... can't guard without fouling, poor effort at times, they let their frustrations on offense follow them down the court on defense, etc.I really don't care personally how they fare in Nashville at this point... I'd rather them be 1 and out than play 3 and not win it all. IMO, they need the rest, especially some of the younger guys. Them, just have to hope for a decent to good draw in the NCAA's... I like Bama's guard play more than most, and guard play is going to matter. But a bd matchup could send them packing pretty quickly. Just have to hope for some luck and that the hot shooting returns... the latter can cover up some of their other issues in a big way.
